This is the only hostel in Lucca, and that is the only reason I stayed here. For 25 euro a night for a dorm room for 8, that is a complete rip off. The wifi only reaches the lounge, not the rooms...which is unacceptable for me. The bathroom lighting was odd, and it always had a wet floor. The bed was comfy and I had my own large locker, but other than this, the booking isn't a deal at all.

In a competition for "hostels with the highest ceilings" this place would almost certainly win. The dorms are of fairly standard size though you have to walk through some absolute caverns to get to them. A perfectly good hostel with very helpful staff and a great buffet style breakfast in the morning. A good place to go back to after a day seeing the old town and the location is very close to the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro and it's restaurants and cafes. I'd happily stay here again.

Beautiful hostel, friendly staff, very good location, everything you need, lovely breakfast. Great value for money. I would highly recommend.

No guest kitchen, but not so much of a problem since Lucca is not one of those places where most people would stay for a week. The restaurant layout made it difficult to just sit outside and not purchase anything, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. The rooms are very spacious and tall, non-squeaky bunk beds, bathrooms are generally clean.

There was some kind of festival happening during my stay, and two out of the three nights I stayed there were bands playing in the courtyard until past midnight. I was on the other side of the building on the second floor, wearing earplugs and could hear everything. This was not advertised on their site or anywhere I could find, or I would not have stayed here. Wifi didn&#39;t work in the room, super hot and no fan, got no sleep, but at least the bed was comfortable and breakfast was good.

Really good location in Lucca. The staff weren't as friendly as in some hostels but still helpful. Lots of good facilities with bar and restaurant etc. The room could have done with more sockets as there were only two I think for 6 people. The shared bathroom wasn't the cleanest but the rooms were very clean. Would probably stay here again as it's a cheap way to stay in Lucca.

There wasn&#39;t much of an atmosphere and while the staff answered questions, they weren&#39;t super friendly and chat.
The room had only one socket for an 8 bed dorm.

This place has a super cool atmosphere and great facilities. The garden is a great place to chill. Easy to meet people and located minutes from everything. Old building, but we&#39;ll kept. The front desk staff should be better equipped with regards to recommendations for tourists, but otherwise pretty great stay. A little expensive for what you get, but that&#39;s the way it is in Lucca!

This place is HUGE. I felt like I was in the movie the Shinning. I couldn&#39;t find anyone else in the hostel to even talk to. I sat in the back terrace for almost two hours with some wine hoping someone would even come outside and not a peep. This place is great for large groups or someone needing a bed for the night. If you are solo packer you may find yourself by yourself.
